Please ensure you're using GRUB's grub-install and not Gentoo's patched version, we can't provide support for patched versions of GRUB. I suggest you take the latest grub-install version from GRUB CVS and re-try. If it still fails then pass "--debug" to grub-install and send a report again. -- Robert Millan "[..] but the delight and pride of Aule is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery; wherefore he gives and hoards not, and is free from care, passing ever on to some new work." -- J.R.R.T, Ainulindale (Silmarillion) _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
